10 Awesome WWE Survivor Series Matches You Totally Forgot About

5. Razor Ramon, the 1-2-3 Kid, Randy Savage and Marty Jannetty vs. Diesel, Rick Martel, I.R.S. and Adam Bomb (Survivor Series Elimination Match - 1993)

Ten years before Austin and Bischoff led their teams into action at the 2003 Survivor Series, Razor Ramon and Diesel captained two teams of four into war at the 1993 show. Originally slated to feature Shawn Michaels and Mr. Perfect, there was a great deal of card shuffling going on, thanks to legal issues involving Jerry Lawler (whom Michaels replaced) and the aggravation of a back injury suffered by Perfect. In the end, fans were treated to a fine match featuring some truly underrated talents (Martel and Jannetty, I'm looking at you), a vastly improving Diesel and a Ramon that had become one of the hottest stars on the roster thanks to a mid-summer babyface turn. Together, the eight men involved would help save an otherwise dreadful show that featured iconic duds such as the Four Doinks against Team Bam Bam and a Smoky Mountain tag title match that never had a chance at succeeding in front of the Boston crowd. The case for I.R.S. as the No. 1 contender to Ramon's Intercontinental title grew exponentially when he blasted the Bad Guy with his briefcase, leading to the countout elimination of the team captain. This came just seconds after the tax man had, himself, been pinned by Ramon. At the same time, Savage's departure from the contest came as a result of a distraction from heated rival Crush. This left the Kid and Jannetty to battle industry veteran Martel and newcomer Adam Bomb for the right to emerge victoriously. Wowing their opponents, and the fans, with their speed and agility, it took only consecutive sunset flips from the energetic babyfaces to secure the win. What made the match awesome was the manner in which it fused storyline with in-ring action. Ramon, Jannetty, I.R.S. and Martel were, arguably, as good as they had ever been and the determination of the Kid to continue proving that he belonged on the WWE roster led to hard work from all involved. Savage, in one of his final pay-per-view bouts for Vince McMahon's promotion, was quite excellent for the brief period of time he was involved, proving to both his boss and WCW President Eric Bischoff that he still had a great deal left to give the business.
